CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill.
One daredevil magician
may single-handedly be able to clear Toyota’s name.
On April 10, mentalist Nino Cruz will try to drive a 2010
Toyota Scion through the streets of Crystal Lake, Illinois,
blindfolded.
The stunt will benefit the Raue Center For The Arts – and
perhaps the suffering Toyota company, too.
If people see that even a blindfolded guy can safely drive a
Toyota, they may start buying the faulty vehicles again. To get through the drive, Cruz will hypnotize himself into
remaining calm and focused at the wheel.
In the passenger’s seat will be a ventriloquist he’s
known for years who’ll be able to see everything but
won’t say a word. Cruz plans to read his pal’s “mind and aura” so
he knows exactly where to steer.
Since this is all Cruz’s idea, he promises not to sue
Toyota like everyone else should something go wrong. In the past, he successfully drove a Jeep blindfolded.
